An update from NAOS Ex-50 Opportunities Co. Ltd. ( (AU:NAC) ) is now available.

In its Q2 FY26 quarterly investment report, NAOS highlighted a diverging performance landscape on the ASX in calendar 2025, with the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index returning 10.3% for the year but slipping 1.0% in Q2 FY26, while smaller companies outperformed as the Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index gained 25.0% over the year and 1.8% for the quarter. The report underscored a strong resurgence in resources stocks, particularly gold-related companies, which dominated index returns and saw the ASX All Ordinaries gold sector surge 82%, far outstripping the underlying gold price, even as several major blue-chip names and former high-growth market darlings in the ASX 100 significantly underperformed, signaling a rotation in market leadership with implications for portfolio positioning and active managers focused on small and mid-cap opportunities.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NAC) stock is a Buy with a A$0.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NAOS Ex-50 Opportunities Co. Ltd. stock, see the AU:NAC Stock Forecast page.
